The 2009 REEL ROCK Film Tour, presented by Sender Films and Big UP Productions is now accepting submissions for the 2009 REEL ROCK FILMMAKING COMPETITION. If you have a camera, computer, and a fresh idea, one of the short REEL ROCK ‘09 films could be yours!
Building on the popularity of the 2008 filmmaking competition — in which tens of thousands of people voted for their favorite Humor/Spoof and Action/Adventure films — the 2009 competition has expanded with new rules and new prizes.
Winning filmmakers will receive $500 in cash and rake in grand prize packages from title sponsors Windstopper and The North Face, gear sponsors Petzl Equipment and Sterling Ropes, and media sponsors Climbing Magazine and Urban Climber. The winning films, one from each genre category — as chosen by voters online and REEL ROCK judges — will be featured on the 2009 REEL ROCK Film Tour in over 100 locations worldwide.

Yangshuo, Part 4
I've been home a week now, and its taken me this long to get an update online. Normally, I wouldn't take this long, and I would do it from China. But things have a way of coming up, a la Murphy's law.
My hotel room was broken into after a long and rewarding day of shooting and climbing. Some ninja wanna-be's spanned the gap from an abandoned hotel next to ours, ran across the roof to the room next to mine, jimmied open the window and ransacked our Aussie friend Duncan's room-seconds after he shut the door, apparently. Then, after stealing his laptop and cash and other goodies, they went to the next window over-mine. They only had time to get my B-camera, my iPod, and my laptop- it seems that they probably heard us pull up and they bailed, leaving my passport, Blackberry, credit cards and a pile of cash.
Normally I have a backup at home, but in this case, it WAS my backup-my main computer died just before this trip.

So now I have a replacement, i'm nearly done restoring all my software, and I am editing the China footage. Regardless of the bummer of losing my info and electronics, I'm psyched to edit this film and release it to you, the climbers. Its a beautiful place, and the climbing community is just getting started over there.
Look for the film to be released shortly.
